When you've exported your project/video in iMovie for Mac, you will notice that it decreases in quality from 1080p to 720p. Don't worry, there's a simple way to fix that. Please read the instructions below to learn how.

Steps

1

Click Share in the menu bar.

2

Select Export Movie, or press ⌘ Cmd+E if you prefer.

3

Name your project, and select its location. Do not add a ".mov" or any extension the the iMovie project filename.

4

Click 1080p. You can also choose 720p if you want an HQ movie.

5

Click Export. Surprisingly, it won't take as long to export, as if you clicked Export movie using QuickTime in the Share menu.
